Thanks for "following" me on my "Creations" blog. I don't know if you noticed, but I've also added my "Reflections" blog to my page here on Facebook.

You list everything on your description, sounding pretty positive and the thing that you should be most positive about you refer to it as burned out volunteer! I volunteer and I am proud of everyone that does. I only wish that more people would get out there and do it as well. You know, you don't have to volunteer every week, you can volunteer a couple hours a week or even a month. But every organization that has volunteers, really needs them. Hospice is a great place to start!!! Keep up the great work, you workaholic and go girls!!!!

Loved Irish Twins, we have them in our family too. When my oldest daughter, Shae, went to school one day, she proudly announced to the teacher she had Irish twin cousins, she got sent to the principals office for being rude. We still laugh about it. Hope you and Gayle are doing well.

The Irish Twins is so moving. I myself being from Irish heritage never knew about the Irish Twins. I love the way you write, your stories are so heartfelt. The blogging is LOL. I understand about a lot of the things you are blogging about. You put down into words what the rest of us are thinking. Thank you for being our voice!

Michele! I think your blog is more entertaining, interesting, truthful and funny than many of the books I've read! I really did laugh out loud.

I loved what I read Michelle . . . including the last of your self-given titles, HILARIOUS because of them all, it doesn't fit . . . except for as a wife, mother, author, resort owner, jewelry designer, sister, girlfriend, when it does!!

Lisa BushJan 16

Well, you have many titles for yourself on your blog headline but I do believe there is one missing and it starts with a certain letter of the alphabet...
